Most Helpful Guy

I had a friend who was female and lesbian. She did a female to male operation. Her girlfriends even encouraged her. But after the op he lost his previous girlfriends because he was no longer their type. So even within the LGBT crowd it can be a problem. My friend did not want males, and the lesbians did not want him now that he was male.

Obviously straights were an even bigger problem.

Even thought it's a major deal and she went through all the counseling before the operation, at least once s/he expressed regrets after the operation. The problem is that she made way too many assumptions about how people would react. I think she just thought as a male he could date straight females. But that wasn't the case.

There were other reasons for wanting the male body. But when it came to relationships, s/he was even more limited in choices than before.

At the risk of sounding ignorant / insensitive, how is that any different from being a regular straight guy who just likes wearing dresses? (I'm sure we've all heard the joke "I'm a lesbian trapped in a man's body")

If I was single I would, I am BI so I have always been interested in transgender/transexual people. :-) But I don't live anywhere near you and I am faithfully married. But just be yourself, open and honest and you will meet an open minded person who will accept you for you.
